6th (DNS): 1980 Candyman, Donn Lange

​

The Miss Rock inexplicably turned into the infield at the start, however it was Jim Whyte and the Mark and Pak in lane two who had the early lead and held it through turn one. Henry Oord and Bill Brandt gave valiant chase behind, but Jim's inside lane held true and allowed him to take his first victory of the year.

DNF: 1975 Miss Technicolor, KC Andres

DNF: 1973 Miss Budweiser, Bobby Colean

DSQ: 2001 Znetix, Donn Lange

​

This was a largely chaotic race, with the youngster emerging from the wreckage in first. The Znetix hooked in a couple of buoys and cut off another boat, earning three penalties and a disqualification. The Budweiser lost its cowl in the front stretch and eventually would crash as well. The Miss Technicolor nailed the cowling on the next lap, kicking up the rudder and with no control, hit the Smokin' Joe's in the rear before shutting off. Conner shook off the contact and navigated around the debris to earn a spot in the final.

​

The Atlas Van Lines jumped the gun at the start, while the top point scorers of the Miller and the Oh Boy! Oberto tangled going into the first turn. From the chaos emerged Henry Oord with the Miss Houston, and he held off Paxton in the Miss Rock to take his first victory of the year in the FE class.

2nd: 2012 Matrix Auto Systems, Brian Anderson

DNF: 1983 KISW Miss Rock, Gary Grembowski

DNF: 1976 Olympia Beer, Steve Roman

DNF: 1988 Miss Stroh's Light, Scott Meyers

DNS: 1971 Pride of Pay'n Pak, Brent Edinger

​

The Olympia Beer held the early lead, with the Miss Circus Circus and Miss Stroh's Light chasing. The Oly took a big hop on lap two in the left turn, and the Circus made a tight turn on the buoys to take over the lead. It would be a lead he did not relinquish, as both the Olympia Beer and Miss Stroh's Light would catch a gust and crash later in the heat.

7th (DNS): 1976 Miss Vernor's, Kirk Maupin

​

The Miss Vernor's had unexpected trouble in the mill and did not answer the call to the 30 second mark, moving the Miss Circus Circus into the front line. The Circus and the 1982 Oh Boy! Oberto duelled for the inside lane, however the Oberto was too early and jumped the gun. From there, it was another bit of chaos, as the Notre Dame, Oberto, and Circus all succombed over the next four laps. In front, it was Trooper Dave, calmly holding steady at the lead and defending his Bernie Little Memorial crown while taking his third victory of the year.
